Family grateful for outpouring of support for wounded Bremerton officer

SEATTLE -- The family of a wounded Bremerton police officer will never forget the call that came early Sunday morning.

Their father had been wounded in a gun battle.

"As a law enforcement family, it's the phone call you dread -- it's the one that you don't want to get in the middle of the night or ever ... and it came for our family," Travis Mayfield, a morning host for Q13 News said in an interview with the station on Friday. "It was awful, but we are so grateful that the person on the other end of the line said, ' Your dad is alive.'"
